guyskin Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The crank pulley tool on my E55 is exhibiting signs of separation. I want to independently address this issue; but, in order to do so efficiently, I need a Mercedes 'crank holder tool'. Is there anybody who would be willing to sell or rent one to me in order for me to accomplish this? The component in question is 230 589 00 40 00, which is a product manufactured by Bosch. Regrettably, I am unable to locate an aftermarket variant, despite the abundance of options available for 1.8l engines that have resemblance but are inoperable.

guyskin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Based on the provided information, it may be inferred that the tool in question is designed for use with 1.6/1.8l engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1anuk Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I intended to replicate this one... Oh! https://mbspecialist.com/mercedes-benz-holding-tool/p/2a9134f7-c72e-4a9d-9d2a-9e1a8933ebff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyskin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 Acceptable! That seems to be encouraging. Do you have any prior encounters with this seller? It may be worthwhile to check the pricing of the tool offered by Mercedes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br1anuk Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I have never used his services; I just searched for the component number on Google. The shipping fee for the UK is 40 Euros. It would be advisable to inquire with the official MB Club about the possibility of renting the gadget from them. However, it is important to note that joining and paying a one-year subscription fee would be required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guyskin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I have received a response from the seller stating that this is a tool used to secure the rear subframe, rather than the M113K engine. I will verify the component number of WIS when returning home, but, I can locate several web references that confirm this to be the accurate part number.

QuirkEinstein Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 pin wrench - Google Search Verify that the diameter of the holes in the balancer corresponds to the diameter of the 'pin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorseaf Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The tool is unnecessary. The crank should be securely fastened to the flywheel at the designated inspection holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyskin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 To provide more clarification, my purchase was first approved, but subsequently, they contacted me to inform me that it was unavailable. Thus, a dead end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyskin Posted March 28 Author Share Posted March 28 I will investigate this matter, but it is quite challenging since I would want access underneath the vehicle. I anticipate that a more versatile locking mechanism will suffice. Does the flywheel provide any danger of damage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorseaf Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Despite completing several tasks, I have not yet done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
